MobiPST 2013 - 3rd Workshop on Privacy, Security and Trust in Mobile and Wireless Systems (MobiPST)

The Third International Workshop on Privacy, Security and Trust in Mobile and Wireless Systems (MobiPST 2013) will be held in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2013), in Nassau, Bahamas. All papers presented in MobiPST 2013 will be published in the conference proceedings.
Outstanding papers will be invited to extend to full version for a special issue of Information - An International Interdisciplinary Journal (SCI(E)-indexed).
Scope and Topics
Mobile wireless devices have become pervasive and attracted significant interest from academia, industry, and standardization organizations. With the latest cloud computing technology, those mobile wireless devices will play a more and more important role in the computing and communication. When those devices become pervasive, security, privacy and trust become critical components for the acceptance of applications build based on those devices. Moreover, the several favorable characteristics of mobile and wireless devices, including portability, mobility, and sensitivity, further impose the challenge the security and privacy in those systems. Despite recent advances, many research issues remain in the design of secure, privacy-preserving, or trust architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications on mobile and wireless systems. For example, when the mobile devices have more storage space, high bandwidth, and super sensing capability, more sensitive information will be stored in those devices. On the other hand, the operating systems on those devices are not as powerful and reliable as those on traditional computers. Both OS layer and higher layer protocols are expected to enhance the security and preserve privacy of those devices. With more mobile devices being used in social network and regular online activities, novel trust models are essential for the new applications. New cryptography algorithms, key distribution schemes and access control policies are also encouraged by considering the special characteristics of mobile and wireless devices. Other issues such as false detection, attack models, security analysis, and anonymity techniques are required to be revisited in mobile and wireless systems.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologists and researchers who share interest in the area of security, privacy and trust in mobile and wireless systems, as well as explore new venues of collaboration. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and innovative implementation activities in the design of secure, privacy-preserving, or trust architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications on mobile and wireless systems. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental research, and work in-progress for security, privacy and trust related issues in the context of mobile and wireless systems that include, but are not limited to, the following
Wireless Local Area Networks
